Lasse Collin 74a5af180a xz: Never use thousand separators in DJGPP builds.
DJGPP 2.05 added support for thousands separators but it's
broken at least under WinXP with Finnish locale that uses
a non-breaking space as the thousands separator. Workaround
by disabling thousands separators for DJGPP builds.

Lasse Collin ceba0d25e8 DOS: Update dos/Makefile for DJGPP 2.05.
It doesn't need -fgnu89-inline like 2.04beta did.

Lasse Collin 4ec2feaefa Translations: Add hu, zh_CN, and zh_TW.
I made a few white space changes to these without getting them
approved by the translation teams. (I tried to contact the hu and
zh_TW teams but didn't succeed. I didn't contact the zh_CN team.)

Lasse Collin b6ed09729a Translations: Update vi.po to match the file from the TP.
The translated strings haven't been updated but word wrapping
is different.

Lasse Collin 7c85e8953c Translations: Add fi and pt_BR, and update de, fr, it, and pl.
The German translation isn't identical to the file in
the Translation Project but the changes (white space changes
only) were approved by the translator Mario Blättermann.

Lasse Collin 1acc487943 Build: Add very limited experimental CMake support.
This version matches CMake files in the master branch (commit
265daa873c) except that this omits
two source files that aren't in v5.2 and in the beginning of
CMakeLists.txt the first paragraph in the comment is slightly
different to point out possible issues in building shared liblzma.

Lasse Collin 9acc6abea1 Build: Add support for --no-po4a option to autogen.sh.
Normally, if po4a isn't available, autogen.sh will return
with non-zero exit status. The option --no-po4a can be useful
when one knows that po4a isn't available but wants autogen.sh
to still return with zero exit status.

Lasse Collin 901eb4a8c9 liblzma: Remove unneeded <sys/types.h> from fastpos_tablegen.c.
This file only generates fastpos_table.c.
It isn't built as a part of liblzma.

Lasse Collin ac35c9585f Use defined(__GNUC__) before __GNUC__ in preprocessor lines.
This should silence the equivalent of -Wundef in compilers that
don't define __GNUC__.

Lasse Collin fb9cada7cf liblzma: Add more uses of lzma_memcmplen() to the normal mode of LZMA.
This gives a tiny encoder speed improvement. This could have been done
in 2014 after the commit 544aaa3d13 but
it was forgotten.
2020-03-11 12:05:57 +02:00
Lasse Collin 6117955af0 Build: Add visibility.m4 from gnulib.
Appears that this file used to get included as a side effect of
gettext. After the change to gettext version requirements this file
no longer got copied to the package and so the build was broken.

Lasse Collin c2cc64d78c xz: Silence a warning when sig_atomic_t is long int.
It can be true at least on z/OS.

Lasse Collin f772a1572f tuklib_integer.m4: Optimize the check order.
The __builtin byteswapping is the preferred one so check for it first.

Lasse Collin 641042e63f tuklib_exit: Add missing header.
strerror() needs <string.h> which happened to be included via
tuklib_common.h -> tuklib_config.h -> sysdefs.h if HAVE_CONFIG_H
was defined. This wasn't tested without config.h before so it
had worked fine.
2020-03-11 12:05:57 +02:00
Lasse Collin dbd55a69e5 sysdefs.h: Omit the conditionals around string.h and limits.h.
string.h is used unconditionally elsewhere in the project and
configure has always stopped if limits.h is missing, so these
headers must have been always available even on the weirdest
systems.

Lasse Collin 9294909861 Build: Bump Autoconf and Libtool version requirements.
There is no specific reason for this other than blocking
the most ancient versions. These are still old:

Autoconf 2.69 (2012)
Automake 1.12 (2012)
gettext 0.19.6 (2015)
Libtool 2.4 (2010)
2020-03-11 12:05:57 +02:00
Lasse Collin bd09081bbd Build: Use AM_GNU_GETTEXT_REQUIRE_VERSION and require 0.19.6.
This bumps the version requirement from 0.19 (from 2014) to
0.19.6 (2015).

Using only the old AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION results in old
gettext infrastructure being placed in the package. By using
both macros we get the latest gettext files while the other
programs in the Autotools family can still see the old macro.

Lasse Collin 1e5e08d865 Translations: Add German translation of the man pages.
Thanks to Mario Blättermann.
2020-03-11 12:05:57 +02:00
Lasse Collin 4b1447809f Build: Add support for translated man pages using po4a.
The dependency on po4a is optional. It's never required to install
the translated man pages when xz is built from a release tarball.
If po4a is missing when building from xz.git, the translated man
pages won't be generated but otherwise the build will work normally.

The translations are only updated automatically by autogen.sh and
by "make mydist". This makes it easy to keep po4a as an optional
dependency and ensures that I won't forget to put updated
translations to a release tarball.

The translated man pages aren't installed if --disable-nls is used.

The installation of translated man pages abuses Automake internals
by calling "install-man" with redefined dist_man_MANS and man_MANS.
This makes the hairy script code slightly less hairy. If it breaks
some day, this code needs to be fixed; don't blame Automake developers.

Also, this adds more quotes to the existing shell script code in
the Makefile.am "-hook"s.

Lasse Collin 8238192652 Build: Workaround a POSIX shell detection problem on Solaris.
I don't know if the problem is in gnulib's gl_POSIX_SHELL macro
or if xzgrep does something that isn't in POSIX. The workaround
adds a special case for Solaris: if /usr/xpg4/bin/sh exists and
gl_cv_posix_shell wasn't overriden on the configure command line,
use that shell for xzgrep and other scripts. That shell is known
to work and exists on most Solaris systems.

Lasse Collin d0daa21792 xz: Limit --memlimit-compress to at most 4020 MiB for 32-bit xz.
See the code comment for reasoning. It's far from perfect but
hopefully good enough for certain cases while hopefully doing
nothing bad in other situations.

At presets -5 ... -9, 4020 MiB vs. 4096 MiB makes no difference
on how xz scales down the number of threads.

The limit has to be a few MiB below 4096 MiB because otherwise
things like "xz --lzma2=dict=500MiB" won't scale down the dict
size enough and xz cannot allocate enough memory. With
"ulimit -v $((4096 * 1024))" on x86-64, the limit in xz had
to be no more than 4085 MiB. Some safety margin is good though.

This is hack but it should be useful when running 32-bit xz on
a 64-bit kernel that gives full 4 GiB address space to xz.
Hopefully this is enough to solve this:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1196786

FreeBSD has a patch that limits the result in tuklib_physmem()
to SIZE_MAX on 32-bit systems. While I think it's not the way
to do it, the results on --memlimit-compress have been good. This
commit should achieve practically identical results for compression
while leaving decompression and tuklib_physmem() and thus
lzma_physmem() unaffected.

Lasse Collin 4433c2dc57 xz: Set the --flush-timeout deadline when the first input byte arrives.
xz --flush-timeout=2000, old version:

  1. xz is started. The next flush will happen after two seconds.
  2. No input for one second.
  3. A burst of a few kilobytes of input.
  4. No input for one second.
  5. Two seconds have passed and flushing starts.

The first second counted towards the flush-timeout even though
there was no pending data. This can cause flushing to occur more
often than needed.

xz --flush-timeout=2000, after this commit:

  1. xz is started.
  2. No input for one second.
  3. A burst of a few kilobytes of input. The next flush will
     happen after two seconds counted from the time when the
     first bytes of the burst were read.
  4. No input for one second.
  5. No input for another second.
  6. Two seconds have passed and flushing starts.

Lasse Collin acc0ef3ac8 xz: Move flush_needed from mytime.h to file_pair struct in file_io.h. 2020-02-05 22:00:28 +02:00
Lasse Collin 4afe69d30b xz: coder.c: Make writing output a separate function.
The same code sequence repeats so it's nicer as a separate function.
Note that in one case there was no test for opt_mode != MODE_TEST,
but that was only because that condition would always be true, so
this commit doesn't change the behavior there.
2020-02-05 22:00:28 +02:00
Lasse Collin ec26f3ace5 xz: Fix semi-busy-waiting in xz --flush-timeout.
When input blocked, xz --flush-timeout=1 would wake up every
millisecond and initiate flushing which would have nothing to
flush and thus would just waste CPU time. The fix disables the
timeout when no input has been seen since the previous flush.

It has been enabled in FreeBSD for a while and reported to work fine.

Thanks to Xin Li.

Lasse Collin 00517d125c Rename unaligned_read32ne to read32ne, and similarly for the others. 2019-12-31 22:41:45 +02:00
Lasse Collin 52d89d8443 Rename read32ne to aligned_read32ne, and similarly for the others.
Using the aligned methods requires more care to ensure that
the address really is aligned, so it's nicer if the aligned
methods are prefixed. The next commit will remove the unaligned_
prefix from the unaligned methods which in liblzma are used in
more places than the aligned ones.
2019-12-31 22:34:34 +02:00
Lasse Collin 850620468b Revise tuklib_integer.h and .m4.
Add a configure option --enable-unsafe-type-punning to get the
old non-conforming memory access methods. It can be useful with
old compilers or in some other less typical situations but
shouldn't normally be used.

Omit the packed struct trick for unaligned access. While it's
best in some cases, this is simpler. If the memcpy trick doesn't
work, one can request unsafe type punning from configure.

Because CRC32/CRC64 code needs fast aligned reads, if no very
safe way to do it is found, type punning is used as a fallback.
This sucks but since it currently works in practice, it seems to
be the least bad option. It's never needed with GCC >= 4.7 or
Clang >= 3.6 since these support __builtin_assume_aligned and
thus fast aligned access can be done with the memcpy trick.

Other things:
  - Support GCC/Clang __builtin_bswapXX
  - Cleaner bswap fallback macros
  - Minor cleanups
